Island of Truth and Lies
Time for the puzzler.
This one is a classic. People send this in all the time. Here we go.
I'll set the scene.
You're on Isla Nublar, the island from Jurassic Park. There are dangers around every corner. Pterodactyls are circling overhead. Tyrannosaurus Rex are nipping at your heels. The only hope to escape is to get to the dock before the last transport leaves the island.
You're driving along this road in your Nissan Pathfinder heading for the dock and you come to the proverbial fork in the road. You don't know which way to go.
Now, unfortunately, on this island, there are liars and there are truth tellers.
The liars always lie, and the truth tellers always tell the truth.
So you come to the fork in the road, and there are two guys there. And you know that they always travel in pairs. There's always one liar and one truth teller. But you don't know which is which. And you really need to know the way to the dock.
So the puzzler question is, what one question could you ask either one of them that would unquestionably get you onto the right road and to safety, where your boat awaits at the dock?
You only get one question. What would it be?
Good luck.
